Supplementary question number two to convenor

The Home to School transport policy has caused safety concerns amongst parents especially in my ward , Stornoway North.

The policy has resulted in children in my ward standing in inadequately sized bus shelters or unpacked main roads - the busiest main roads servicing Stornoway.

Would he agree with me that this is unacceptable to place children in such a precarious position and agree to a review of the policy soonest to address these issues?

Convenor refused to give a response

Comhairle refuse to respond to community concerns

Comhairle convenor and the chair of sustainable development decided not to answer key questions asked by SNP councillor Gordon Murray at last Wednesday's full council.

Is this a council decision or just the appearance of one?

March 2013

 

Transportation Committee of 20 March 2013 resolved to note that… the three bus service contracts serving Laxdale School and the Nicolson Institute shall not be tendered after April 2014 unless all required road safety and traffic management improvements have been implemented.

The Road to Uncertainty

As Councillor Manford, with the support of his SNP colleagues, continues to fight for openness and transparency on safe roads, the Comhairle’s decision to implement the Home to School Transport policy has been little more than a shambles.
